Confirmed. "Minguo" calendar is widely used in offical and educational occasions. > Some background information: The government website (www.gov.tw) uses it, > popular public services like Taiwan HSR also uses this calendar system. In most current cases two calendars coexist, but shifting to Gregorian cale= ndar is the trend. > Link to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minguo_calendar According to Chinese National Standard "CNS 7648", Gregorian calendar is the main calendar while "Minguo" calendar as secondary representation.
